PEACOCK, FETHERSTON & CO, Thursday, September 1, 1870. »THE HOPE OF FRANCE.” A few days ago a despatch from Paris de clared that “MacMahon is now the hope of France.” To-day we have to announce that all the brilliant expectations founded upon Mac- Mabon’s generalship and the splendid character of his hrmy,' have been utterly disappointed. MacMahon has been beaten by the Prussians, after fighting desperately for two days, and hi s shattered columns have been hurled far back beyond the position which they defended with such heroic valor. The contest took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, within the triangle formed by Sedan, Stenay anffMontmedy. Upon the two opposite, sides of. this ..triangle, half way to the apex, lie Moulon aud Cariguab, the former on the highway to Verdun, the latter on the railroad to Thionville. Between these towns the battle raged, MacMahon’s design bS jjeg to cut his, way through the Prussian force to Bazalne, Who lay helpless beyond. The as sault made upon MacMahon by the Prussians was fierce and persistent, and it was gallantly met; but the French hosts,after suffering fearful josses, were driven back toward Belgian fron tier and Sedan. • it is reported now that MacMahon, having been- disastrously defeated in his attempt to re lieve Bazaine, possibly may try to .with draw his army to Mezferes, and from thence to endeavor to reach Paris by way of Soissons. It is to be feared UuShsuch a feat has become impossible. The Prussians have at Rethel aud Rhehns an enormous force, composed of the whole of that army of the Crown Prince which was marching on to Paris a day or two ago. The Prince outnumbers MacMahon, his troops arc fresh, and —he-occupies -a 1 position—wliicli— will make it easy for him to advance and inter cept the retreat of the French. The Prince can reach Soissons by a shorter line than any open to the French; and even if the latter skirt the Belgian border, trying to get around to the north of Paris, and to reach some one of the railways which connect that citywvitk- Bel gium, the can move in parallel columns and cut them off. If MacMahon retreats, the whole of the enormous army of Frussia, excepting .the force which holds Bazaine, will be at liberty to support such a movement, indeed, the Prussians could afford to detach a force equal to- MacMahon’s to watch that general, and still continue their march on Paris with an immense army. We cannot perceive that this defeat of yesterday is anything but a fatal and final disaster for the French cause. It insures the isolation of Ba zaine; it threatens to cut off MacMahon, and it leaves no obstacle in the way of the imme diate precipitation of the Prussian hosts upon the capital. MacMahon has failed utterly in that brilliant strategic movement of which we heard so much from Paris, and there is reason such heavy disaster may be the decisive con flict of the war. If the victorious Prussians march upon Paris with a splendid force of trained soldiers, and the two armies which contain all the disciplined troops in France art useless and helpless, the result cannot be doubtfol. All good men will hope that the end may speedily be reached, and very few will regret that the result should be what is promised. "We may give our sympathy to the valiant French nation in its humiliation, but we must congratulate mankind in the name of justice, civilization and humanity, that the Empire pro voked such speedy destruction. It will be sub lime retribution that the author of this shame ful and bloody war, the matr who caused all this slaughter and anguish, who is personally responsible for the devastation of the fair fields of France,, for the murder, of thousands of brave men of both nations, and who has brought sorrow to a hundred thousand house holds,should be overthrown, mined and driven a fugitive from the country which he betrayed, which he oppressed for nineteen years, and then led to humiliation and bloody defeat. When he is gone mankind will have seen the last ruler bearing the name of Napoleon ; the last of a family whose existence has been a curse to the human race; A I’ItAtTH'AL SWO DIE. During the last two or three days people have been surprised at the unwonted spectacle of small bands of scavengers in several of the streets, plying scraper and broom with all the solemnity of men engaged in an- occupation of daily recurrence. Streets that have been strangers to anything like such a visitation during the •whole summer have been swept tip and cleaned, and while this demonstration by the con tractors has not been a general one, there has been enough of it to attract attention and direct the inquiry of those who cling to tho old dream of Philadelphia’s once clean streets. There is no great mystery in this flourish of scraper and broom. As the almanac says, “ about this time expect” street-cleaners. For to-day is the first of September. It is pay-day. And the contractors have had instilled into them a wholesome fear lest the Board of Health, moved thereto by tbe continued appeals of tbe Evening Bulletin, may possibly insist, this time, upon clean Btreetß or no pay. The fear may or may not be well-founded. Contractors' have taken large risks on such chances in by-gone days, and have never been disappointed. But even a street-contractor, it not very old in iniquity may sometimes have awakenings of conscience’ and there are doubtless some of them, who. feeling that the summer lias passed away with put their having done a stroke of work, may have doubted whether the board of Health might not, under the pressure of public opinion, suddenly turn over a new leaf with them, Be the cause what it may, several streets have certainly been cleaned. A portion of Waltmt street, a portion of Broad street, a small piece of. Spruce. street and possibly a few other localities, have been scraped and swept , well enough to give quite a new and pleasurable sensation to those who have traversed these streets, “with bated breath,” during the long summer, just past. To-day, the contractor or contractors of this section of the city will go in boldly and demand payment of the Board of Health, and the demand will be promptly met, -and this is wbat we call a Practical Swindle. It is so, because it is put ting on a face of honesty, under whose false pretences money is to be taken out of the public treasury. For the contract requiies not only that the streets shall be clean when the money is paid, but that they shall have been kept clean during the intervening period. They are to be cleaned every week, and if they are not cleaned every week, it is a palpable swindle to scrape up a few streets) just before pay-day, after leaving them in total neglect for weeks, and even mouths, and then to claim that the contract has been kept. The Board of Health take it much to heart that they are censured in public and in private for leaving the streets in the filthy condition which has been so common to them during the past summer. We have been told that if we would specify the stagnant gutters and filthy streets of which we have complained they will be cleaned immediately. But the suggestion only reveals the extremely loose view which is taken in the Board of Health of the duties of the contractors and of the Board. If- private citizens will con stitute themselves volunteer Inspectors, and Will devote their time to selecting the wors hmd-boles and diit-heaps of the city and ret porting them to the Board, then the Board will have them removed. At least some of the members say that they will. Our own experi ence does not justify the promise. So that it comes to this • The Board of Health will in terfere after any locality has become so desper ately filthy as to Attract special attention and provoke the. action of private citizens. But neither thtriaw empowering the Board of Health, nor the obligations of the contracts contemplates any such principle as this. The design was to keep the streets so clean that offensive accumulations of dirt would be im possible, aud whenever the Board of Health can rise to this true view of the situation they will not only enjoy the reward of the conscious performance of a diilicult duty, but will re- tlie entire community. But this will never be, so long as contrac tors are allowed to idle away a whole sum-, mer, as' many of them have now done, and then rush in with a little spasmodic show of work, just before pay-day, and receive their money without - any. oflicial inquiry into the way in which it has not been earned. The whole situation is so palpably clear, that the only wonder is that gentlemen so honest and intelligent as those who compose the Board of Health cannot see it. ENGLAND'S BHABI NEUTRALITY. Prussia talks as imperiously to England about her bad faith as did the first Napoleon when he denounced the “ nation of shop keepers.” With all her protestations of a strict neutrality, England has not been ,<tbie to resisther greed for traffic, and there can be no doubt that she has furnished, aud is furnishing, as substantial'aid and comfort to the French as she did to the rebels of the South, when, with a transparent show of neutrality, she turned the Alabama loose to ravage the uu armed commerce of the United States. Bis marck has addressed a strong note to Earl < irauville, remonstrating against England's disregard of her obligations as a neutral. The Prussian Prime Minister declares that Prussia will not accept tbe mere quibbles of the law officers of tbe Crown, and demands the prompt solution of this diplomatic question. This peremtory demand has, of course, stir red the virtuous indignation of John Bull more than a little, and there is talk about sending a sharp reply, aud about England not allowing herself to he badgered. But how' is England to help herself?" Prussia is only doing what we ought to have done in the matter of the Ala- bama. She does not wait until the war is over and the mischief is all done. She believes that England is not living up to the principles of a strict neutrality, and she has not only the right, but tbe power to demand that she shall. Eng land dreads a war with any nation, however she may bluster about it r most of all with a great military power like Prussia; and Eng land will appreciate not only the justice of Bis marck’s demand but also his ability to enforce it. Whatever aid and comfort England gives to France is done, not out of any feeling of Hostility to Prussia, but simply out of her great comsuming love thirst for trade. She would aid and comfort Prussia just as much, if Prus sia were as conveniently within reach of her markets. But she professes bigli principles of absolute"neutrality and Prussia means that she shall live up to them. -■--■-■■■■ It is intimated that some of the neutral powers have already manifested to Prussia their intention to interfere at an early day in the quarrel with France for the purpose of procuring peace. The principal object of sucli intervention of course would be to prevent Prussia from reaping the full results of victory and acquiring dangerous power in Europe. Italy has been the first power to move in this matter, aud her action has awakened very deep feeling in Prussia. It is well known that Italy would have been tbe ally of France in the war if the King had not been seriously afraid of Prussia, and tills fact will hardly dispose the Prussians to accept kindly any ad vice from that quarter. Indeed, Prussia, by her wonderful generalship, has placed herself in such a position that she can afford to reject offers of mediation from any direc tion ; and she will he justified in such a policy. This war was begun by France for the purpose of invading aud destroying. Prussia. Tho latter Power did nothing to provoke it, but rather maintained a remarkably passive position until war was declared. She was forced to fight to defend her territory and her people; if she winß. she will deserve to enjoy all the fruits of “ victory, and to dictate--her own terms, what ever they may be, without the counsel oriuter (crenee of any other Power, particularly of nations which are unfriendly to her. We hope Prussia will adhere to her sturdy declaration that, “rather than let a neutral profit from our oiir troubles, aIT tliC powersbf tl)e earth shall , not stop us half way in a war of self preserva ! ' tion.” PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1870.

M.—Accounts from the vicinity of tlie great battle-ground upon the Meuse furnish an exact plan of the opera tions which have been ar.d are now being con ducted by both the French and Prussian armies in the triangular contests in the valley of the Meuse, between Rethel and Sedan and Mousson and Montmedy. The march of Marshal MacMahon’s arrny alter their evacuation of Kheims is clearlyin ilicated. The movement of his forces began at-Rbeiins, and from thence to Rethel, and from Vouziers and Bouzanzy by the valloy of the Meuse and the defiles of the Argonnes and Stenay, and from thence to Montmedy. He transported all bis war material by rail, ami now has batteries of artillery numbering six hundred guns. ' The Army of Lyons is composed of veteran soldiers, 100,009 strong, anti is expected to be between Eperuay and Chalons. London, Sept. Ist.—Later accounts of the batt its of Tuesday and Wednesday have been received here, from which it appears that the Prussians attacked MacMahon’s army upon both banks of the Meuse, assailing both wings with fierceness, simultaneously. The First Battle was fought southwest of Cariguan, tbe Prus sians upon tho right bank, MacMahon’s right marching from Vaux towards Mont medy. The Prussians at once delivered battle to the French, which ended by the Prussians driving the French to and beyond Carignan, which latter town was taken by the Prussians. It is supposed another Prussian corps at tacked apart of MacMahon’s army remaining upon the left bank of the Meuse, and, having routed them,drove them northward back upon Sedan. The Engagement at Carignan was probably fought by the troops composing the Fourth Prussian Army Corps, under the Crown Prince of . Saxony. The battle upon the left bank was brought on by advanced forces of the Crown Prince of Prussia's army, Fighting: Still doing: On. Alllon, Belgium, Sept, i.—Furious lighting was reported to be progressing last night be tween Armigny and Douze. The Prussian advanced column entered Carignan at ten yesterday morning, after routing the French and driving them beyond the town. More Troops. Pams, Sept. I.—A ministerial decree has been promulgated ordering the immediate arming and transportation of 100,000 Gardes Mobile from the Departments to take part in the defence of Paris. Hie correspondent of the Uourrier dcs Etuis Unis sends the following ; Paris Account of tiie Situation. Paius, August 31st, Midnight.—The seat of war has been transferred to other places. Paris, perhaps, will not. be besieged at all. To-day, in the woods of the Ardennes and Meuse, the great rate being enacted at this moment is the question of the junction of our armies. It is probably being decided by a series of hot cijjiifUcts.. . At the "War Department they assure me these preliminary operations -win result favorably for us. MacMahon keeps his trobps tog^therandeommiinicatfißwithßazaiue, the commander of Metz, who, is virtually under MacMahon’s orders, with whoa* hois to co-operate in the great stTpgj*le whiqh -\yin probably' decide the fato'of the. cahipai&ri'and I saw the instructions given to MacMahon, by Montauban, MacMahon does’not need them. He has to take revenge arid'mo doubt will do it. ’ The Minister of War has news up to noon. The junction of the Prussian forces in timo to ruin MacMahon’s movements will be ex tremely difficult. He has power and will to light each army separately after an interval of twenty-four hours. Paris, with feverish impatience, awaits the reports of the blow. Trochu acts quietly, now the armies are being ormed. - Austrian Intervention. Paris, September L—[Special by cable to Kew York Post.]—La Liberie says Austria pledged herself to France to move on the Prussians’simultaneously if subsidized. Olli vier, then Prime Minister,agreed. The money, however, was never paid. Austria pressed matters on France, when Oliivier replied: “Go; we fight without Belgian Account of the Fight on Tuesday. The Independance Beige, of Brussels, says: “ Marshal MacMahon, while on the Heights of Yaux, Tuesday, advancing to Montmedy, was attacked by the Germans and fiung back with deadly carnage. This region of country is now entirely depopulated.” This corres ponds with the Prussian account of the action near Beaumont, reported late last evening. Reduction Of the Bate of Discount.

Tlie Enforcement Act. f Special Despatch to tho Philo. Evcnlnz Bnllctln.l Washington, first decision of the United States Courts in a case arising un der the enforcement act has been rendered by Judge Bond, of the Fourth Judicial Cir cuit:" • • - John Mellwee, one of the registrars in AVest Virginia, refu-ed to enter the name’of one Alkirk on the roll books, on the ground that he was not qualified to vote under the laws of the State, he having participated' in the rebellion. Judge Bond held that the ease did not come within the provisions of the statute in question, as it clearly was not the intention of Congress to abolish tho laws of the several States, prescribing the qualification ot voters, or even to alter them, except so far as they were founded upon race, color or pre vious condition of servitude. It was plainly the duly of the registrar to inquire into the qualifications of the applicant under the laws of West Virginia, and . if he found him other wise qualified he wasto register him without regard to race or color. The Judge further called attention to the fact that the act applies to elections where representatives or delegates in Congress are voted tor, and that in the case under consideration the registration made was only preliminary, and an appeal could be had to a reviewing board.

Aug. 31.—There was a more buoyant ami more animated tone to tho markets to-day, but the umount of business was still conftued to limited dealing in a few of the speculative railway nbares.. The day, were it removed from o.1ob»< contrast with the recent elagnalion,would still have been regarded as a dull one. The earliest activity—such as there was-rmade itselt manifest in the Gold Room, where the price opened af licit, -the-—‘ .engagement of Bpceie - for the - Cunarder, as -well its" the" curious' sale of sterling bills ' i.f exchauge for the Recount of English bankers who have transferred their funds- from the relaxed market of London—where money on the street is worth only 3 to 4 per cent.—to this nty,hero.they had been enabled to place them at rates equivalei t to fully nine per cent, per annum. Foreign exchange, while not lower than at the close last evening, after the absorption of these bills was dull find.barely steady on the basis of for sixtv day and for sight sterling. The-ofTeriugs of gold in the forenoon were leadily taken 'Upon speculative account by operators who theorize that with a ratio of i, tily two and a half millions of exports to eight millions of imports there is little danger of holding for arise. It sboutd be borne in mind, h-jvvcver, tnai the demand for cold is based upon the relations of the whole year’s - foreign business, and not upon the discrepancy at this Reason, when, between the closing outof the old and the entry of the m-w cotton crop, there Is always a great preponderance on the side of tho im ports. The statistics of the fiscal y.-ar ending Jul) I showed a highly favorable condition of our foreign trade, and the decline in gold from hist v**.tr at the corresponding date was but the result of an >*n hanced national credit and expanded'exports. Certain!' - . with .» war adding to tbe-Tiatintfal debts of two of mu great national rivals and with a nor reduced producth - r.cpadtyat home we are not any further from sp-ic oujments than we were last spring, when gold was JJO‘4 . The theorists who-npe.rate-upon auy other idea th*.- that we uredoßijne-1 to specie p.»vni-nts within a y*> ir nr other rea>onably brief period—will bu crushed l.r the Juggernaut of our country’s Rtcady, Irresistible advance on the high road to bojiutcous prosperity. .The speculator? on tho limited exteut of tho present-season ■.« exports were b.dd enough to buy, however."as abm*- nairattd. and when the report was circulated that the Prussians hud been defeated iu the latest b ttc 1- the timidity of the shorts produced a rise to 117 : s —.i clean advance of one per cent, over the opening figure When, later in the day, it was evident from the firm and bnoyant mark'-t for five-twenties in London that th lighting wan not rcgHrdod as of anv important*, there war a reaction to 116>*, at which price the market closed strong. The large amount of gold bid~ for the government gold sale at the Sub Ti en Miry wionhoß nontributlng influence to the strength of the market, the total havingbeen .* t4.'W,ouo at prices ranging fr*»m 115.66 to 116.33, the million l#eing awarded at Jl6 .13 to UCX-O.U. In this connection it U importiuit that due publicity should bo given a recent derision >f the Secretary of the Treasury that tlm notes of tbe new gold banks authorized by the Currency hills passed at the last session of Congress will not bo received in pay nunt of ou'tuniß. Doubtless this action of Mr. Ib-ut well, which is perfectly correct, because as tlm new notes are only secured by pledge nf government bonds they would depreciate should gold by any str-tiim* no i dent tnce more command a high premium, will'induce a rule of the Gold Exchange declaring the new notes not a good delivery i-n gold transactions. Their vain and use are thus circumscribed as long as gold is at all in danger of n sharp advance. It will he remembered we pointed out this difficulty when the law was ena- te.l. The advance in gold, coupled witli the firmness of the foreign quotations, leu to better prices and a more act ive demand for government securities, tho foreign bank ers were buyers of which and sellers of gold. ' Iu this connection it is 'interesting to note that th-J upward movement in the Gold Room is duo' to purchase's by do mestic speculators rather than by foreign houses. The issue of the movement remains to bo seen. A. C. BRYSON & CO., A. C. BRYSON & CO., A. C. BRYSON & CO., A. C. BRYSON & CO., A. C. BRYSON & CO., - A. C. BRYSON & CO.. A. C. BRYSON 4 CO., A. C.
